I have known many people (and some of them on EC itself) who have some prejudice against a few people from certain places. Like people using "Madrasi" or "Gulti" in a way which is not so pleasant. I always used to wonder why educated people hold those kinds of prejudice.

This morning I came across a guy with green eyes. I took an instant dislike to him. In the past I have known a guy with similar eye shade and he hurt me real bad; but its been over a decade now. All of a sudden I have seen some one else with those eyes and I could not understand why I took dislike to a stranger, even before he uttered 'hello'. I am not sure how to overcome this or why I even hold the bitterness. I wonder if I am any different from people who call me a madrasi in a not-so-pleasant-way.

Did you experience anything similar at any point? Of course I am not talking about people who dislike us, 'Madrasis'.

There was this boy in my school senior to me and was a prefect and he used to bully other children,punish them for no good reason and would later give out a cruel laughter and maybe my subconcious mind termed all odd coloured eyed people as evil.
I hope you noticed that dark brown and black eyed are common

After spending a year and a half in Delhi, i started hating all Delhiites (i.e every one who looked or sounded like he/she was from Dillika) . Have got over that now. Now, it is reserved for those who drive Piaggio APEs or similar vehicles in Hyd. They drive slowly right on the centre of the road.

Traditionally light eyes are not seen as nice looking in India till recently, I think in most Indian languages it is called the equivalent of `cats eyes`. Of course it is normal to develop a dislike, irrational though it may be, for people who resemble person/s who hv hurt us in any way.

Blue and colored eyes do not look good on old people. Saw this old female at the restaurant with blue eyes....looked scary (aish's future)

Sunny...the eyes were just an example. I wanted to know if anyone have developed a strong dislike for the entire lot just because of one particular person/trait.

This is what I am talking about. So, I am not the only odd one out when disliking the entire lot irrationally .
